Endurance Athletes Need a
Modified Version of the 'Paleo' Diet

Dr. Cordains Paleo Diet has received a great
deal of attention in endurance training circles: as homo sapiens, we are
genetically adapted to a hunter-gatherer diet.

The introduction of domesticated animals,
agriculture and processed foods are relatively recent developments in
evolutionary history. As such, our bodies are not adapted to a diet derived
from these technological developments.
